Scoparia halopis Meyrick, 1909 | |
Scoparia halopis is a moth in the family Crambidae. [1] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909. [2] [3] It is endemic to New Zealand, [4] where it has been recorded as far south as the Auckland Islands.
New Zealand lepidopterist Brian Patrick notes that "when I was young growing up in Invercargill, I reared an adult from larvae found in soil - so probably a sod webworm by lifestyle." [5] According to Brian, this species is "common and widely distributed from sub-Antarctic northwards in both natural and suburban settings" in New Zealand. [5]
